About This Podcast
Explore tools, trends, and expert insights for care home operators and innovators.
In each episode, I speak with people building new AI tools, or those implementing them successfully. That could be software developers, founders, care leaders, or people on the ground who’ve embraced AI.
We explore how AI can be ethically and effectively applied in care settings and dig into:
-Where AI is delivering real efficiencies and value
-The practical side of adopting new tech in a care environment
-The ethical, operational, and human considerations
-How AI intersects with marketing, business development, and organisational systems
